I'm sorry I have not posted for some time. The thing is, I started working as an assistant at my aunt's office two days ago. Working hours are 8.45 am to 5.45 pm. 8 long hours of work and (thankfully!) 1 hour of lunch break. You can imagine how tired I am by the time I reach home. Actually, that's not an excuse, so I apologize. Tons of people are working and they can blog at the same time. I've been planning to have a 500+ followers giveaway, but I'm still working on the prizes. As a student, I don't have much funds, so I'm thinking of some cool swag for international friends and a book of his/her choice for a Malaysian follower. Would you like it if I give away something else instead of the usual books/swag, say, jewelry for example?

If you're a blogger / an author and would like to sponsor prize(s) for my giveaway, please contact me at : aikychien@yahoo.com - I'd make sure that I post an individual post for sponsored giveaways and name you as the sponsor at the end of the post. You'll just have to let me know the prize and geographical restrictions (US&CA / International). If you have any questions, you can also reach me at the above e-mail address. Thanks in advance!

creative remarks:

Hi, there! I'm a fellow Malaysian blogger and I totally understand your predicament. I have a full time job and sometimes I just totally missed out on posts. Don't feel bad dear! It happens to everyone. And as for giveaways, it's really up to the one giving it away. :) But books would be really nice.
